IRS targets bogus phishing e-mails

March 29, 2006

Users can send suspicious e-mails purportedly from the IRS to phishing@irs.gov

News Story by Linda Rosencrance

MARCH 28, 2006 (COMPUTERWORLD) - The U.S. Internal Revenue Service has set up an e-mail address, phishing@irs.gov, that taxpayers can use to send in copies of suspicious e-mails they have received that claim to be from the IRS.

In a statement, the IRS provided precise instructions about how to properly submit copies of possibly fraudulent e-mails. However, because of the volume of correspondence the IRS expects, it says it can't acknowledge receipt of the e-mails or reply to taxpayers who submit them.
